Gaz's reaction to Dib's speech, with her expression going from "Oh boy, not this shit again" to actual concern at her brother's crazed rambling and weird Prof. Membrane impersonation. This is then followed by her horror at Dib leaving his room, desperately trying to convince him to take a bath.

Her protocol for interacting with Dib, which involves a "shoving stick" for food and a "Gazmat" suit.

The very first piece of dialogue between Dib and Zim is an absolutely perfect return to form after years off the air.

(Zoom out shows that Zim did set up special effects to make their reunion even more dramatic. Zim responds with a beat of awkward silence and then quickly kicking away the sound effect machine, detaches the sprinkler and feeds the strobe light machine to GIR)

Dib: Did you... have to sit in the toilet? Zim: (pointing at Dib with both fingers and his foot) DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE WAYS OF MY PEOPLE DIIIIB!!

And then he pops back into a normal pose with a sound like a deflating balloon.

Another good moment from the first meeting between Dib and Zim.

Dib: Where have you been, Zim?! I've been monitoring your house, the school, that taco place you love so much! Zim: No, no, no, GIRloves that place. I think it's dirty. GIR:I ate a baby there.Zim: He did.

Zim kicks off Phase Two of his plan with a bunch of minor acts of mischief, like shuffling peoples' mail and reading their newspapers without paying a subscription. And Dib still reacts to all of them as if they were heinous crimes.

Zim tells Minimoose to get in on the action too, which causes it to float over to a car with a pizza sticker on it, telekinetically remove it, and place it onto its own body. All the while, a kid tells Minimoose his mom loves the sticker, and when Minimoose starts to steal it, the kid just yells at him to stop, but in a way that sounds like he's just disciplining a misbehaving child.

GIR gets in on it too, running over to a neighbor's yard, eating their pug, and launching it out of his head into space.

GIR: [walks over with his head smoking] I launched that pug into space! Zim: I thought you liked that pig. GIR: ...Why'd I do that?

Zim challenges Dib to stop him, and the out-of-shape Dib can only respond with this line:

After Dib confronts Zim, who's manipulated Dib into letting himself go by going into isolation, Zim reveals that he spent all of this time... sitting inside a toilet bowl doing nothing but laughing about how evil his plan was. For the entirety of his absence.

Zim's computer in general has gotten even more tired of his crap over the years:

Zim: Access the Tallest's computers and retrieve their flight plan.

Computer (in a british accent): Oooooh, yes, right away, sir!

Zim: Are you doing an accent?

Computer: I get bored.

That said, it turns out that the computer shares its master's lack of subtlety. When it says it needs more power to properly track the Tallest's flight path, Zim tells it to get some more, but be sneaky about it. In response, it shoots cables around the neighborhood, draining power from the whole city, all while shouting how sneaky it's being.

Dib: (rendered in the most dramatic, JoJo-esque art style possible) My name is Dib Membrane. (echoing) I'm twelve years old!

The intro's anime-esque style is a big source of this as well, but special points go to Minimoose's split second appearance as he appears as a realistically detailed moose... who is still tiny, floating and purple.

In Dib's attempts to get back into shape, one cut during his exercise montage involves him having gotten so muscular he's able to toss his handweights straight through a wall. The next cut has him looking completely normal. He then proceeds to dramatically suit up in his usual clothing and gear, and then farts the chair off his butt, again, straight through a wall.

Dib: I was in bad shape, then I got too in-shape, and now I'm back to normal shape!

Meanwhile, Zim is attempting to figure out what the next step of his plan was aside from "general mischief". Eventually, he wonders just when the Irken Armada will get here, convinced they're not far away, only to discover Earth is not in the immediate vicinity of the Armada. He asks the computer to zoom out until it can find Earth's presence relative to the fleet... and takes all day to do so, with Computer announcing each zoom out.

Zim asks GIR if he remembers what Phase 2 was. His response is typical:

GIR: You gonna order a million pizzas. Then I gotta roll around in them pizzas. And that's the story about how I turn into a giant pizza! (Happy Squeak)

Zim: (Death Glare) This isn't the time for the giant pizza story, GIR. AND THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

When Zim realizes he doesn't remember Phase 2, he tells the computer to put the Tallest on hold while he tries to recall his plan. It doesn't, and they watch his antics with boredom in the background. When Zim realizes this, he freaks out and blows up the screen. The hole left in the wall exposes them to the neighbors.

Zim's Imagine Spot where he sees himself being stripped of his rank by the Tallest and Control Brains for failing to conquer Earth is mostly dramatic, but at the end, Purple is in the middle of giving Zim a speech of how Zim will now live a meaningless life, only to be suddenly interrupted when a giant worm monster comes out of nowhere and eats Zim.

You can also tell this is Zim's Imagine Spot since the Tallest speak highly of him (instead of with absolute contempt like they actually do).

Purple's epicSpit Take when the Tallest find out that Zim is alive. He spits a stream of soda into Red's face, pauses to have a doughnut, and then spits more soda into a nearby service drone's face, eventually shoving them off the platform with the soda stream.

The various comically over the top Death Glares Gaz gives Dib when he starts screwing up, culminating in the scene where - after he ignores her and gets Membrane kidnapped - the very last thing before the cut is him looking to his side to find her seething directly in his face.

Her understated reaction later is pretty funny too. Dib wakes up and follows what he thinks is his father's voice, only to find a clone having replaced him, plunging the house into chaos and making pudding. And in the midst of it all, Gaz is just sitting here. Cursing him with her eyes.

Dib immediately blacks out and wakes up back in his room, thinking it's all a dream. It gives the implication that Gaz was so pissed off she somehow broke out of her own restraints and punched dib hard enough to cause him to black out.

Clembrane is a hilariously bad imitation of Membrane, and it's even funnier that the only thing Zim saw as off was that he couldn't make pudding right (which Dib doesn't even like). He can barely string a coherent statement together, and mostly just babbles about science and pudding while literally walking through walls.

Clembrane: Breakfast is da scienciest meal of da day!

Gaz, as always, shows herself as capable of being resigned to anything by just going along with whatever Clembrane says, no matter how ridiculous. Dib, meanwhile, keeps making Clembrane freak out because he can't stop with the heroic declarations. At one point, Clembrane ends up crying in the ceiling.

After Zim takes over Membrane Labs and starts selling his modified Membracelets to all the children on Earth, he moves his headquarters right on the lawn of the Membrane house, leading to this hilarious conversation between Dib and Zim, in which Dib shouts to Zim from atop the tall building while Zim can barely hear him.

Dib: ZIM!! GET OFF MY LAWN!! Zim: HI DIB! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! Dib: I LIVE HERE! Zim: YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SPEAK UP! Dib: YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS! Zim: WHAAAAAT?! Dib: YOU WON'T GET A— Zim: WHAAAAAT?! Dib: YOU WON'T GET AWA— Zim: WHAAAAAT?! Dib: YOU WON'T GET AWAY— Zim: WHAAAAAT?! Dib: YOU— Zim: WHAAAAAAAAAT?!

And then the scene cuts to Gaz looking at the TV, and Dib's head is somehow bloated like a beach ball.

The children who couldn't link hands due to the sharks, after hearing GIR's song, are seen holding hands with the sharks for some singing and swaying. A second after, it cuts to the housecat being arrested and driven away in handcuffs by the police.

Zim reveals he sent Professor Membrane to the planet Moo-Ping 10, which is a giant space prison, and mocks Dib and Gaz for being unable to rescue him. The animation of Zim's gloating makes it even funnier.

Dib and Gaz listening to the ship radio and getting super into an alien pop song. Dib rocks out so hard he goes cross eyed, while Gaz looks like she's just nodding along but then gets just as pissed when Tak cuts them off.

Zim: GIR, all this evil is doing a number on my throat! Fetch me a sooooooothingLOZEEEENGE!

GIR's attempt to "avenge [his] robot brothers! And Maria!" involves him going Serious Mode, pulling out a wooden sword and riding on the tiny donkey from earlier in the movie. The donkey takes three steps and then both are knocked down by the wind, at which point both of them are slowly blown away due to low gravity.

Zim:(Calling out) You're terrible, GIR~!

Dib and Membrane fighting off Zim's robot army. On the one hand, Membrane's absolutely demolishing the army with ease like the badass he is. On the other...Dib spends most of the time either taking cover or wacking an already-taken-down mook.

Just about everything about Clembrane, Zim's failed clone of Membrane — his generally derpy attitude, his obsession with pudding, his tantrum when Dib claims he's not really Membrane, and the confusion he elicits in Membrane when they meet.
